Default Replacement alternator for Yanmar 1GM diesel?
kirjoitti:

To be exact a higher amp one does not take more engine power unless it
is called on to deliver more current. I'm assuming the op has a
reason he wants more current like a multiple battery installation. If
not then there is no reason to go to a larger amp one.

Bingo. I forgot to say that I have a 60 Ah battery for cranking the
diesel and 2 x 80Ah for other use.

A 35A alternator is not really sufficient for this much batteries to be
charged.
